The city of New Braunfels website shared a few key points from Abbott's Open Texas checklist on Thursday, which says "river rafting and similar activities" — tubing is not explicitly mentioned — are allowed to reopen with special protocols for vehicles used to transport individuals along the river.

The governor's "checklist" for reopening includes minimum standard health protocols for businesses and activities. For parks, beaches and bodies of water, some of the guidelines include:

Groups must not exceed the greater of the individual’s household or up to five individuals.

Face coverings are to be considered when within 6 feet of a person who is not part of a group. The recommendation recognizes that masks may not be feasible while in the water.

Vehicles used to transport river-goers, like the shuttles provided by outfitters, must be cleaned and disinfected between uses.

If the vehicle is a bus, passengers must be spaced out on alternate rows. Face coverings are also "strongly recommended" while riding the vehicles.

Rockin' R River Rides, a longtime name in rentals, said the New Braunfels business will be ready to open Friday and will adhere to the protocols. The business confirmed to mySA that rentals of tubes and rafts will start Friday. Rockin' R told fans their Comal River location will be closed.

"We can’t wait to see you back on the water while also doing our best to keep everyone safe," the business told social media fans. "Thank you for your patience and grace as we navigate this."

Prior to this week, there was some confusion regarding river recreation. A number of Comal County river outfitters promoted being open on May 1, under phase one of Abbott's order, but it did not specifically mention tubing or other activities.

Now with the official go ahead and confirmation from popular businesses like Rockin' R, residents are quickly planning their tubing trips.
